Stomp: Out Loud
Stomp is a rhythmic, musical extravaganza that has stunned audiences across the globe. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them in your hometown (or you did and you crave more), now there's Stomp Out Loud, a special HBO performance that will bring the unusual musical feats right into your living room. You might just find yourself grabbing a broom or even your remote control to keep time. "It's comedy, it's theater, it's very physical, it's energetic, it's occasionally quite terrifying," says one performer. Taking their show from the theater to the streets, this astonishing troupe can make music out of just about anything and just about anywhere. --Dana Van Nest

One of my all time favorites.
Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This musical video is in a class by itself. Though some have compared it to Riverdance, which was also great, this is different in many obvious ways, the improvised "instruments" for starters. I would rate this "musical" as a "10" all the way.
I was rather surprised to find this on video- I had seen the stage show twice, and felt that it would be hard to capture the feel of the show in a movie.The producers have done a good job, capturing most of the magic of a Stomp show without (of course) interaction with the audience. Stomp could be classified as a dance troupe, performance art, or industrial-type music, and for the full effect, it's necessary to watch them; that makes this much better than the various soundtracks and albums floating around that have "songs" performed by Stomp.I'd still recommend seeing Stomp live before watching the video; but this is a pretty good substitute.
